Message-ID: <CALqfA9PXDHcjinPf8g9iTYDjqAnvw+MrEK=6LsshZ_fEAg58eQ@mail.gmail.com>

hey, any pointers on using mcclim on windows? i was able to install it
using quicklisp, but it always throws the same error when i try to run

(clim-demo:demodemo)

The value
  NIL
is not of type
  NUMBER
   [Condition of type TYPE-ERROR]

Restarts:
 0: [USE-LOCALHOST] Use local unix display
 1: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.
 2: [*ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level.
 3: [ABORT] abort thread (#<THREAD "repl-thread" RUNNING {10035B8033}>)

Subject: Implementing new backends?
Message-ID: <CALqfA9NweOZxcLygjG4RQsx+J8VK6dLTsHoa=7Bw+TD3KS5Ckw@mail.gmail.com>

I've read that there's been some work documenting mcclim's internals, i was
wondering how hard can it be to implement a new backend?

Like implementing a sdl2 backend, for instance (I've been fantasizing of
making a xconq like clone using only sbcl + sdl2)

some preliminary work has been done to make implementing a new backends
easier (we have removed some incorrect assumption from the code). That
said, we didn't start the documentation for implementing a new
backends. Implementing sdl2 backend would require some work on figuring
things out from the source code.

I think it is doable by one person, but not easy (I don't have much
experience with backends yet, so this opinion may be misleading).

Best ragards,
Daniel

for now McCLIM doesn't work on Windows (the only working backend is
targeting Xorg server). We hope to change it in the future (ie providing
backend for Windows).

Best regards,
Daniel
